Last Tuesday afternoon our townslnan,
Mr.. John Catlett, accompanied by his
wife, was driving in the country. When
near Mr.. S. A. Whittaker's residence, in
varennes Township, rabbit, which was
being chased by dog, started across the
road, aud as it did so the front wheel of
Mr.. Catlett's buggy ran over it, killing 1t
instantly. Our friend has long been in
the livery business, and we always knew
he kept good, fast horses, but we never
thought he had one that could overtake
rabbit, especially when crossing road.
Last Friday afternoon, Lester Burton,
a negro boy about seventeen'years of age,
attempted an outrageous assault on Mrs.
Burton. wife of Mr.. Lawrence Burton,
who resides near Cookies Station. Mrs.
Burton was alone in the house when the
negro attacked her. Her screams fright
ened him off and attracted the attention of
some near neighbols, who came to her
rescue and found her on the floor, where
she had tainted. The negro was arrested
in few hours, and is now i'll Jail. The
good people of that section were indig-
nant at the assault, and there was strong
talk of lynching the fiend.
Last Tuesday we were the recipient of
one of the most beautiful bouquets of
chrysanthemums our eyes have ever be-
held. It was presented to us by Miss Le-
nora Hubbard, the earnest and efficient
Principal of the Home School, of this
city. There were dozen or more colors
represented, all of which were neatly and
tastefully arranged, covering one side of
large palmetto fan, to which they were
fastened. The chrysanthemums were
plucked from Miss Hubbard's school
house yard, which Is yeiitable paradise
of flowers. We return many thanks for
the beautiful bouquet. 1t now hangs
above our desk, and every one who visits
our Office feasts their eyes upon its beauty.
The Spartanburg Spartan says /: sin An
derson a gambling dem was entered by
the police and one negro was arrested.
The report says the police are determined
to break up the ring You notice gener-
ally that only negroes are arrested in this
State for gambling, or if, percbance,
white man, from any cause, is indicted, he
is never punished. IF there is not a poker
room or two in Anderson, run by white
men, it is an exception of town. The
police will never molest them. See if they
do" Anderson is certainly an exception
of town, Bro. Petty. There is no poker
room here run by white men. If there
was, our police would soon find it out,
and would not hesitate to arrest the par
ties. Gambling is not allowed in Ander-
son, either by white or black.
